If you like Brand, you'll love BrandX, but you might be left wanting.
Some of it was compelling and some of it tedious.

Awesome! A travel into the weird, entertaining consciousness that is Russell Brand.
It's chaotic, action-filled and I wasn't bored for a second, haven't seen the whole 2nd season yet, but watching it step by step!

SEASON 1
Brand X works when Brand doesn't force himself to play with the trappings of the show and he just sticks to the monologue.
The result is not all that funny but more interesting than what most stand-up TV programs deliver.
He gets off a few good lines, but even the fan-based studio audience wasn't much impressed, providing an ocean of silence where the laughter should be, which made the television viewing experience actually uncomfortable at times.
If there's any justice, Brand X With Russell Brand will be as quickly forgotten as his blink-and-you-missed-it union with Katy Perry.
The star of this ill-conceived show, which also features former congressional policy advisor Matt Stoller as a very uncomfy foil, completely fails to get untracked from halting start to grinding finish.
This show is brilliant!!! It makes you seriously think about various aspects of society whilst simultaneously being hilarious. Russell is doing great!

Coming unto this show, I knew little about Russell Brand, I didn't know if I was in for a treat or a disappointing. And as most people who have reviewed this would tell you.THIS SHOW ****. And the reason for this is, Russell Brand is not funny and has no business starring on his show.

I don't know if Russell Brand gonna survive in the ratings for his new FX late-night talk show, but I hope he's feeling worried about then-girlfriend Katy Perry rather than focusing on movies. So I think FX doesn't have to be like this. But just like TBS did with Lopez Tonight (since it was cancelled due to low ratings) last year, but I hope this show should be on the TV Death Watch list and pretty soon he'll be on the chopping block.

I wanted, really wanted to like this show. Even with subtitles, I had a hard time following him. It was uncomfortable at times especially when he uses the audience for his own amusement. He does have a great mind but needs to think at least a couple seconds before he speaks, (I know of whence I speak). The idea of riffing on current events is a great one but he goes off in so many directions, his narrative or point (if you can find one) is just not funny. FX-come on, rein him in or just not renew. I tried I really did.

SEASON 1
The thing with Russel Brand is he is very witty, intelligent for today's standards I suppose, and seems to work well with observational humor, and the show consists of him rambling about anything so there aren't any set jokes or formulaic opportunites. But he goes about it in such a pretentious & contrived way it's very hard to laugh at his jokes even if they are funny simply because he is very hard to genuinely like as a comedian. Similar to Jay Leno, this man is trying so hard to be loved, but his likability always seems like a gimmic no matter how sincere it comes off to be. The show is essentially a way for viewers to explore what's in Russel Brand's head, and frankly I'm not interested in exploring Russel Brand's views on the world, let alone Russel Brand himself. I watched 3 episodes and never laughed, I really tried, but I couldn't do it. This is the only substandard show on FX.
